My thoughts on this Was... that maybe at the waning end of our window, Maybe

we can prolong it a little as our bodies adjust to the new plumbing and

losses slow. I have spoken to so many whose common channel lengthens to adapt

for

less malabsorption. So instead of lessening the common channel and risking

the possible chances of malnutrition that would have to be surgically risky,

Maybe try the xenical and see if a little additional malabsorption helps? There

are so many on the revision boards who are trying to get the common channel

shortened or making the gastric bypass distal. Why not try the Xenical

instead of surgery in these cases? Especially if the needed losses are less

than 50

or so lbs....

I do lurk on this list occasionally, and tonite was one of those nights.

Xenical was on my list of weight loss drugs for many months (long before my

DS). Like the DS, oil slicks are the order of the day should one consume

too much fat. The oil that is expelled is identical in color, etc., to what

we have with the DS. The body seems to adjust to the Xenical and " mix " the

oil with the rest of the " stuff " after a time. I have noted that I can eat

more fat with a diminished oil problem so I wonder if our newly redesigned

digestive system doesn't adapt to this a bit, much like Xenical.

Nick...hey good to hear from you. It's always nice to know your

still a kickin!

Absolutely our digestive system adapts. The bowel will acutally

enlarge it's circumference, creating more surface to absorb from.

Of course we never have the same ability to absorb as before, but

adapt we do.
